Explore the villages in the green hinterland. An absolute must whenever you visit Lefkada is to explore its villages, especially those around Karya, in the heart of the island. Karya is the largest and liveliest Lefkada village with impressive houses, atmospheric streets and beautiful cafes.
You should not forget to try the seafood and other local delicacies. When we talk about Lefkada cuisine, we usually refer to what the sea produces: cod, squid, swordfish, eel, crab and sardines (a favorite dish of the locals). Other delicacies of the island are roe, air salami and lentils produced in the traditional way in the mountain village of Egluvi. It is worth it to visit Egluvi and meet the local producers of this special variety of lentils, famous for its taste and ease of cooking.
